The legendary Tokyo Game Show kicked off on Thursday, with some Vita, a touch of Puyo Puyo, and plethora of RPGs

At Capcom, the show floor today was dominated by Monster Hunter Tri 3G on the 3DS, though an epic looking Monster Hunter 4 (see video) was also announced during a pre-event press briefing. There was also much excitement about forthcoming open-world RPG, Dragon's Dogma (see the TGS trailer here). Players command a hardened warrior and his squad of AI pals across vast landscapes populated by dragons and massive flying monsters. Looks like there's an emphasis on tactical battle and exploration. The third-person visuals, sprawling vistas and mammoth creatures give it the look of Skyrim, but obviously with a group combat element. It's due out in the US and Japan on Xbox and PS3 next year. I've yet to talk to Capcom about a UK release.
